Abstract Winter Inspired: Prepare 2 to 4 nail art colors, one being a metallic (ZT.0 or white (No.1) . This will give the look a pop of dimension. After applying a neutral color for the base (or a clear coat if you prefer the negative space look) and letting it dry for minute, we move onto a dry brush dabbing technique with the nail art colors.

Wipe most of the polish off of the brush before dabbing the remaining polish randomly to one side of the nail. Repeat this step with all the nail art colors until you’ve created your desired cascading side gradient.

Shimmering Silver – ZT.02 Cloud Gray – No.31 Pure White – No.01 Dark Olive Gray – No.32

 

Evil eye: similar to above, apply base color (try to use white or lighter colors as your base so it stands out more). Using 3 different sizes of dot maker, apply the biggest dot in blue color, then smaller in white and then the smallest in black. You can use the back of a ballpoint pen if you don’t have the dot maker.

Dots: After nail prep (to help nail polish last longer), you apply your base coat and two layers of base color of your choice. Allow the nail polish to dry. Apply a couple of drops of nail polish on a foil paper, Using dot makers (such as this one on Amazon) dip the polish and apply it on your nail. Apply your top coat.
